b) Altaworx shall at its sole discretion agree to make commercially reasonable efforts to work with Customer to try to identify, address, and resolve any Service issue and support Customer in dealing with their Internet Service Provider. However, Altaworx is not able to guarantee the restoration of Service or resolve this issue on behalf of Customer in the event Altaworx is not providing Internet Services and Customer will not be relieved of its payment obligations to Altaworx in the event the Service issue is related to loss of connectivity with Customer’s Internet Service Provider.

Service calls are assessed at $140.00 per hour and commence from the time phone support is engaged until the time the issue has been resolved.

Such deposit shall be held by Altaworx as security for payment of charges, and Altaworx may draw upon such deposit without any notice to Customer immediately when such account becomes past due. At such time as the provision of service to Customer is terminated, the amount of any unapplied deposit shall be credited to Customer’s account and any credit balance which may remain, shall be refunded without interest thereon.

Any act of Customer default accelerates payments to be due immediately.

 

15. ALTAWORX 911/E911. Customer understands that all of Altaworx calling services are Internet based and that the emergency services calling capabilities associated with the Service are different from those offered by traditional providers of local telephone services. Altaworx VoIP calling services are not meant to be relied upon in case of an emergency. While Altaworx attempts to provide access to emergency service, the Altaworx E911 VoIP Services feature is not intended to be used to support or carry emergency calls to any type of hospitals, law enforcement agencies, medical care units, or any other kind of emergency services. Customer should therefore maintain an alternative means of calling emergency services. Customer should not make excessive 911 calls. Excessive calls are classified as making more than three 911 calls per month for every 100 telephone numbers registered for 911. Should Customer make excessive 911 calls, there will be additional charges to access the system. Altaworx may change Customer’s E911 monthly recurring charge upon providing Customer with written notification. Additionally, Customer agrees that the Altaworx E911 disclosure shall be incorporated herein.

 

16. DISPUTES. In the event of any dispute regarding a billing invoice, Customer shall notify Altaworx in writing within fifteen (15) calendar days of the invoice date. Thereafter, said invoice shall be deemed to be correct and binding. Customer shall not seek legal or equitable remedies, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, which would require Altaworx to continue providing service to Customer. Customers with Toll-Free numbers may be charged a $25 fee per change on each Toll-Free number. Customer will be charged a fee of 5% of the Monthly Recurring Charges (MRC) plus $0.50 per telephone number associated with the account for reactivation of any service due to non-payment. This Agreement and any disputes arising out of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive and procedural laws and practices of the State of Alabama, without giving effect to conflicts of law. Any action commenced hereunder, or relating to any relationship between the parties, shall be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Alabama. If a dispute arises and Altaworx refers Customer Account to an attorney for collection, Customer shall pay all costs of investigation, enforcement, and collection, including interest, court costs, fees, and attorney’s fees. Notwithstanding the cancellation or natural expiration of the term of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

17. Choice of Law: Waiver of Trial by Jury: This Agreement, Service Order Forms and all other documentation as executed by Customer shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Alabama without giving effect to any conflict of law principles thereof which might require the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Exclusive jurisdiction for litigation of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to this agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be only in the state or federal courts located in Alabama, Baldwin County, and Customer consents to said jurisdiction and venue in the courts of Alabama and waives any objections as to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY THE OTHER PARTY ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE SERVICES, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES, AND/OR ANY CLAIM OR DAMAGE RELATED THERETO.

 

18. Non-Waiver/Amendment: No provision of this agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, or modified by Altaworx unless such a waiver, amendment, or modification is in writing, signed by Altaworx.

20. Notices: Except where otherwise stated herein, any notice required or permitted to be given under this agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent to Customer at the mailing or e-mail address supplied on Page 1 of this Service Order and Agreement, and to Altaworx at 455 Magnolia Ave, Ste B, Fairhope, Alabama 36532-2220 Attention: Director of Administration. Either party may, at any time, notify the other of a change of address for notices, by giving written notice in accordance with this Paragraph.

 

21. Variances: The Terms and Conditions of this Agreement shall prevail notwithstanding any variance with the Terms and Conditions of any order submitted by Customer or the terms of any other Agreement between Customer and Altaworx.

 

22. Severability: If any provision of this agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

23. Assistance: If necessary, and if requested by Customer, Altaworx will provide commercially reasonable assistance to Customer in obtaining necessary facilities from the local telephone company through which Customer may use Altaworx service. Customer is responsible for such activity and is liable for any and all charges incurred therefore.

Customer may change to a different available Mobility Service plan at any time, provided Customer pays any applicable and Early Termination Fees and/or other cancellation or change charges will apply. The change will become effective on the first (1st) day of the following month’s billing cycle provided, that, for Mobility Voice plan changes: (i) the changes may occur during a month’s billing cycle in which instance billing will be prorated accordingly, (ii) any and all accrued overage charges shall be applied and billed up to the date that the plan change is made, and (iii) plan changes and activations shall only occur on Business Days.
b Certain Mobility Service plans may allow for pooling (meaning that the minutes of usage, text, and/or data allowances in a specific Mobility Service plan can be shared between two (2) or more Devices used by Customer or Customer’s End Users). With ALTAWORX’s prior written approval, and in its sole discretion, Customer may pool within the same Mobility Service plan, with the same Provider.
c International calling is not available unless specifically ordered by Customer for the specific Device and Mobility Service plan. Therefore, Customer must order International service in addition to Customer’s existing Service as stated on the Service Order.

 

2. ACCOUNT IMPLEMENTATION. In order for ALTAWORX to operationalize these Mobility Terms and Conditions (including the creation of any custom pricing, options, features or applications), Customer must provide certain information, such as name, mobile telephone number and all relevant and required account information of any Mobility Lines Customer wants to activate under these Mobility Terms and Conditions.

b ALTAWORX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make MTNs available for use by Customer at the time of activation within the areas served by the underlying carrier’s owned and operated network, based on Customer’s forecasts and twelve-month trending history. ALTAWORX will fulfill orders for MTNs in a commercially reasonable expedient manner assigning one (1) MTN to each Mobility Line. ALTAWORX’s obligation to provide MTN’s is subject to: (i) the availability of MTNs and the capacity of the underlying carrier’s network and systems, and (ii) reasonable delays if additional time is needed by the underlying carrier to comply with State or Federal MTN management requirements.

Customer’s existing lines using geographic numbers shall be eliminated through attrition only. Non-geographic calls are those of which are made to 03, 05, 070/076, 080, 0845, 0870, 083/4, 0871, 09, 116, 118, and/or like and similar numbers.

b Customer may port its geographic-only MTNs from ALTAWORX to another carrier, however Customer does not have any property right in the MTN. ALTAWORX may change, reassign or eliminate an MTN upon reasonable notice to Customer under certain circumstances, including fraud prevention, area code changes, and regulatory or statutory law enforcement or other requirements. Customer shall bear the cost of reprogramming End User and Customer equipment, systems, Products and Services in connection therewith.

Altaworx Emergency Services Disclosure

9-1-1/E9-1-1. Customer understands that all of Altaworx calling Services are internet based, or services that are more commonly referred to Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) and that the emergency services calling capabilities associated with the Service provided by Altaworx are different from those offered by a traditional provider of local telephone service. Therefore, Altaworx’s VoIP telephony Services are not meant to be relied upon in case of an emergency. Altaworx attempts to provide access and to facilitate Customer’s connection with emergency services, however Altaworx VoIP Service is not, and should not be, intended to be used to support or carry emergency calls to hospitals, law enforcement agencies, medical care units or any other like and/or similar emergency service providers. An Altaworx customer should maintain an alternative means of calling emergency services.

 

1. Customer agrees to inform all end users of Altaworx’s calling services which Customer purchases of the potential complications that may occur when dialing 9-1-1 using a VoIP based Service. Customer acknowledges and agrees to inform all employees, office visitors, and any other person, who may use Altaworx’s VoIP calling services at any registered location(s) of the specific limitations detailed below that are associated with all of Altaworx’s emergency calling capabilities.

 

2. Customer acknowledges and agrees that all of Altaworx’s Services are Internet based (VoIP) and therefore the 9-1-1 calling capabilities associated with all of Altaworx’s Services are different than a local telephone service provider. Altaworx’s VoIP Services are not meant to be depended on in the case of an emergency. While Altaworx attempts to provide access to emergency services, the Altaworx VoIP calling services are not intended to be used to support or to carry emergency calls to any type of law enforcement agencies, hospitals, medical care units, and/or any other like or similar type of emergency service agency.

 

3. Outages of electricity and/or problems with computer connection, Internet connection, and/or any other like or similar connection and connectivity issues, including network congestion, will disrupt any Altaworx Service and Customer or end users will not be able to use it for 9-1-1 emergency calling.

 

4. If and when Altaworx is required to suspend a Customer account due to billing issues, non-payment and/or for any other reason, that may create a disconnection or Service disruption that creates a Service outage; Customer will not be able to use any Altaworx VoIP Services for any calls, including for emergency 9-1-1 calls.

 

5. Altaworx VoIP Services may be capable of being used in locations that are not associated with the traditional geographic area of a telephone number. This capability can cause 9-1-1 problems. All 9-1-1 capabilities are only available in the specific location/address that Customer has associated with the specific Altaworx Customer DID telephone number assigned to a Customer account. For Basic 9-1-1 Services or E 9-1-1 to be accurately routed to the appropriate emergency center, Customer must provide accurate DID numbers as the call-back telephone number for all 9-1-1 calls along with the complete address information. Additionally, if Customer is using the service in a location or geographic region that uses a different area code than the area code in the number Customer is using with their Altaworx VoIP Service, when Customer dials 9-1-1 may not and/or will not be able to reach emergency services, an emergency service center, and/or emergency personnel. Even if Customer does reach any of the aforementioned, Customer’s call may not reach the proper or appropriate emergency agency, service center, or personnel nearest to the actual Customer physical location and the emergency agency, service or personnel may not and/or will not be able to transfer the call or respond to an emergency.

 

6. Failure to provide a correct physical address in the correct format to Altaworx or failure to provide updated registered address information to Altaworx on an immediate basis may and/or will cause all Basic 9-1-1 Service and/or E 9-1-1 calls to be routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider. Furthermore, use of any Altaworx VoIP Service from a location other than the location to which such service was ordered, (the “primary registered address,”) and/or failure to provide updated registered address information to Altaworx on an immediate basis may and will result in Basic or Enhanced 9-1-1 calls being routed to the incorrect local emergency service provider.

 

7. Customer affirms and agrees that it is of critical importance to immediately register accurate specific location information every time the equipment associated with Customer’s Altaworx VoIP service is moved. If Customer moves any Altaworx equipment to another location without immediately notifying Altaworx and ensuring the information is properly registered; if and when Customer dials 9-1-1, Customer may not be able to reach any emergency agency, service officer or personnel. Even if Customer does reach emergency agency, service office or personnel; if Customer has not provided valid location information to Altaworx the emergency personnel closest to or near Customer actual location may not be able to locate Customer’s location. Additionally, the emergency agency, office or personnel may not or will not be able to transfer the call or respond to Customer’s emergency.

 

8. Any obligations which may be imposed by any Federal and/or State law on operators of Private Branch Exchange (PBX) or multiline telephone systems are obligations which are imposed on Customer, and not on Altaworx. If Customer and/or Altaworx becomes aware Customer is using the Service in violation of Federal or State obligation, Customer agrees that they will immediately discontinue the use of Altaworx’s VoIP Services or Altaworx shall have the right to suspend or cancel Customer’s Service and incur no liability to Customer or any other third party. However, such suspension or cancellation shall not relieve Customer of any charges and/or termination fees which may be imposed by Altaworx relative to Customer’s Service Order Form.

 

9. Customer should not make excessive 911 calls. Excessive calls are classified as making more than three 911 calls per month for every 100 telephone numbers registered for 911. Should Customer make excessive 911 calls, there will be additional charges to access the system. Altaworx may change Customer’s E911 monthly recurring charge upon providing Customer with written notification.

 

10. Customer affirms and agrees that the Altaworx VoIP Services will only be used for business, non-residential purposes in an environment that requires either multiple lines or extensions. If the situation arises where Altaworx becomes aware that Customer is using the Service for residential use, Customer agrees that they will immediately discontinue the use of the Altaworx calling Service or that Altaworx shall have the right to suspend or cancel Customer’s Use of Service and incur no liability to Customer or any other third party. However, such suspension or cancellation shall not relieve Customer of any charges and/or termination fees which may be imposed by Altaworx relative to Customer’s Service Order Form.
